Political Situation
In terms of political leadership, unfortunately however this region has not got any sincere representative who could truley think of the problems and difficulties faced by general masses. Culture of politics till date rovolves around family politics and tribe loyalty instead of vision-based. Even in recent genreal elections of 2018, people preferred the same family and caste politics and elected the year old tested and in-effective political leadership. However with the new government in the prvincial assembly, there is chance of seeing a positive local bodies govering system.
